MARCH8 targets and ubiquitinates cytoplasmic lysine residues of VSV-G but not of HIV-1 Env.

(A) Schematic structure of the lysine mutants of VSV-G (CT5K/R; upper) and HIV-1 Env (CT2K/R; lower). SP, signal peptide; EC, extracellular domain; TM, transmembrane domain; CT, cytoplasmic tail; …

The tyrosine motif of MARCH8 mediates downregulation of HIV-1 Env but not of VSV-G.

(A) Schematic structure of YxxΦ motif mutants of MARCH8 (222YxxL225 and 232YxxV235). (B) Western blot analysis was performed by using extracts from 293T cells transfected with HA-tagged MARCH8 …

Schematic diagram of two different molecular mechanisms by which MARCH8 inhibits viral infection.

Left, MARCH8 (red) downregulates VSV-G (violet) in a ubiquitin-dependent manner. The RING-CH domain (pink) of MARCH8 recognizes VSV-G’s cytoplasmic lysine residues, which results in ubiquitin …
